police department along with individual officers.

As far as I am concerned the people of Ferguson should not be rewarded for tearing up and destroying there own neighborhood. ...However I am a strong
supporter of civil rights and liberties and believe that the LEO'S that violated those rights should pay a large price for there terrorist
actions....I sincerely hope they win...and let this be a message that rings loud across the nation...

I trully hope a judge sees all the constitutional violations that the LEO who are supposed to be trained to avoid. I also hope that the law abiding
citizens don't have to keep being lumped in with the few that did do wrong.

Fortunately most judges make rulings based on the law and the knowledge that the constitution of the united states is what keeps us from living in
tyranny.

It's about time Leo's in general start waking up to the reality that American citizens are their duly appointed objective, and not tptb. That being
said, the unfortunate aspect of a lawsuit is that John Q Public will end up paying for it, not the perpetrators. Until we have a law change that
holds them personally responsible for their actions, we'll get scared every time.
